Heroes of Silver Moon
Chapter 592: :epitaph
King Jona, who had completed the patriarchal baptism, held a grand funeral for the old king who passed away. Naturally, the dignitaries of the kingdom like Simon must be present, and there is no possibility of refusing.
If you don't participate, it means that you are not on the side of the new king and will be cleaned up!
During the ceremony, music and guard of honor, the people in the streets of the capital knelt down one after another, and the loyal royal knights carried the coffin of the old king and slowly walked into the underground chamber of the cathedral.
This is the most sacred resting place of the Silver Moon Kingdom. Only the kings, popes, or other respected people of all ages can enter to rest in peace after death.
"Your Majesty, are you really sure that you will not perform a human sacrifice for His Majesty the Sixteenth?" Marquis Sissoko asked, frowning.
When the king dies, all the maids and servants in the palace must be buried. This is a rule that has existed since ancient times!
But now, the new King Jonas wants to abolish this system of human martyrdom...
This kind of behavior that violated the ancient law made Marquis Sissoko feel a little uneasy. Perhaps, the new king will not be a peaceful person.
"After my grandfather passed away, I will definitely go to enjoy the kingdom of God of Her Majesty the Moonlight Goddess. Therefore, the system of human martyrdom is meaningless." King Jona shook his head and said.
Yes, in his opinion, this kind of human sacrifice system is meaningless except that it will make the royal family lose a group of loyal servants.
Why not take this opportunity to abolish this bad habit... Anyway, he is the king now, and the entire Silver Moon Kingdom has to listen to him!
"Okay! Follow your will." Marquis Sissoko retreated helplessly.
It's still a long time, this game of power will not end so easily, the new king will always be restrained by them one day.
But now, at the old king's funeral, it's better to be more cautious... Marquis Simon is looking at him with a half-smile now!
The mad dog left by the old king will not let them win this power struggle easily.
As the coffin of the old king was gradually sealed by the stone tomb, Pope Moonlight looked at King Jonas: "Did you write the epitaph of His Majesty the Sixteenth yourself? Or did your servants do it for you?"
Generally speaking, after the death of the king, there must be an epitaph, which mainly records the deeds of the king's life and the achievements that can be praised.
A good epitaph can turn a mediocre person into a wise king, and a mediocre epitaph can also turn a wise king into a mediocre person.
Therefore, the epitaph is a very important part of the king's funeral, and it must be good enough!
Looking at the closed tomb, the old king's past was still vivid in his mind, and for a while, thoughts and sorrows flooded King Jona's heart again.
He stood silently for a long time, but he was still unable to speak. Simon and the others behind him also kept as quiet and solemn as possible, for fear of disturbing the king.
"I'm sorry, I feel so sad when I recall my grandfather's past. Let Marquis Simon do the epitaph for me!" King Jona said with a sad face.
The main function of the epitaph is to praise the achievements of the king, mainly military exploits or wonders built.
but......
The life of the old king was too ordinary, that is, he inherited the throne in an ordinary way, led the Silver Moon Kingdom to cultivate and live in an ordinary way, and passed away in an ordinary way without a war for more than seventy years.
Although the Silvermoon Kingdom was managed very well during his ruling period, King Yona really couldn't think of any commendable achievements of his grandfather.
He still couldn't think of a good epitaph, so he blamed Simon.
Anyway, when the time comes, even if the writing is not good, the nobles will not despise him...
"Fuck!" Simon was stunned, why did he push it on him? This job is not easy to do, and if the writing is not good, it will be despised for hundreds of years!
Well... at least a few hundred years.
The specific time depends on the king, when will he be forgotten...
Even in his heart, he had sprayed the old man with blood, but Simon still stood up. Who would let him be the king?
Disobedient, are you courting death?
And to be honest, Simon is also deeply moved by the old king who passed away. The two of them have very similar personalities.
If they were born in the same era, they might be quite good friends...or enemies!
It's a pity that the age difference between the two is more than a hundred years.
Time prevented the fate of the two people from being intertwined, and only when the fate of the old king was about to end, did a spark of fate spark.
In this regard, Simon's heart is full of regrets.
That being the case, then let him come and see the old king off for the last time!
Standing in front of the tomb, Simon thought for a moment, then slowly said: "I have heard that the bravest and most skilled fighters must not have too prominent achievements."
"Because all the hidden dangers have been suppressed by them before they were revealed."
"When he came to the throne, the people of the Silver Moon Kingdom were in dire straits. When he passed away, the Silver Moon Kingdom was prosperous and healthy. This is the greatest achievement of a king!"
In front of the tomb of the old king, a group of dignitaries are silent, a good fighter has no great achievements... What a good fighter has no great achievements!
If they want to say how powerful this king is, they can't tell the specific deeds, but this king has suppressed three generations of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
There has been no war for more than 70 years, from the poor to the prosperous and healthy, even the nobles who have complaints have to admit that this Willy XVI is a good king!
"Pretty good epitaph, Marquis Simon has a heart!" Marquis Sissoko sighed softly, looking at Simon with complicated eyes.
It's really hard to imagine that this young boy is actually the old king, the assistant minister left for the successor, and also a powerful pillar for the new king.
Those ministers with different intentions, if they want to seek more power and interests, they must first put this person to the ground!
Although I appreciate it in my heart...but they are destined to be enemies!
"Where, this is the duty of a courtier." Simon smiled and retreated to his original position, causing all the dignitaries to groan in their hearts.
The duty of a courtier?
Is this mocking~www.wuxiaspot.com~the restless demands of these people?
"Since everyone thinks that this epitaph is quite outstanding, then Marquis Simon will be rewarded!" King Jona looked at these dignitaries coldly, and shouted: "Come here, give me the sword!"
The royal knight held a long sword with golden patterns all over the body and a scabbard inlaid with gems, kneeling and offering it in front of Simon.
The faces of the nobles who attended the funeral all changed. They didn't know this sword, but this didn't prevent them from understanding the deep meaning in it.
Giving the sword... Is this Marquis Simon, to replace him in charge of punishment?
If this is the meaning, then they will be in great trouble in the future...
King Yona glanced at the nobles coldly. He was not tough, but that didn't mean he was a fool, and it was impossible for the old king to find a fool to be the king's successor.
On the contrary, among the members of the royal family, Yona is definitely the smartest one!
There are some things that he doesn't want to worry about too much, but these greedy nobles have repeatedly tested his bottom line and methods...
Since he is a merciful king, then find a ruthless courtier to take charge of the punishment!
Isn't that the way of being a king?
"The king's meeting will be held tomorrow!" After another cold look at the crowd, King Yona led the royal knights and left the catacomb without hesitation.
The words have been given, it is their own business to be shameless, to come or not, if there are still people who don't care about him, the new king...
Looking at the gloomy nobles, Simon smiled, bowed and exited the crypt.
Those who can't figure out their own positions are all idiots, and the current Silver Moon Kingdom doesn't need these idiots!
